Cruise Malta Arrival: The panic starts!

You’ve arrived in Malta and you’re ready to disembark. For some this is were the panic starts! Wait … but isn’t a cruise supposed to be relaxing? Don’t worry, it is :)

But for some cruise passengers, Malta’s cruise stop is not initially something that they give too much importance to.

This is mainly because when compared to other Mediterranean cruise stops, Malta is perhaps kept a bit on the low profile side. Cruise passengers often admit that at first, they were more looking forward to their stop in Greece or Rome for example.

However, when they start doing a little bit of research on the countries that they’ll be visiting, they soon realize that Malta has a LOT to offer to the visitor even if it’s jam-packed into 316sq km!

For some, just the sight of the harbour and the spectacular Valletta fortifications alone, is enough to immediately make them wish they could stay longer to explore this enchanting baroque city.
